Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I'm starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

I really do relate to your reasons. I had been using a smartwatch from spring 2020 until last week, and while it was great for some fitness tracking, it ended up giving me health anxiety due to the constant feeling of 'needing' to meet all my fitness goals daily, and the notifications buzzing my wrist regularly breaking my concentration during work, or for slower times of the day such as sitting on the couch with my headphones and just focusing on the music.

Citizen FTW! Their Eco Drive Watches are the real deal. Accurate, reliable, won't break the bank. Citizen really do live up to their name as a company, they've created a practical and economical slew of products that appeal to the everyday working man. Plan on getting one myself soon!
